Xd the great Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Sorry my mistake. I thought the soyuz, not the proton, used hypergolic fuel. But does the russian space agency have any plans for the future? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotius Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Plenty of plans. New manned capsule, lunar flights, new space station (partially re-using Russian ISS modules) and so on. Too bad frequent budget cuts get in the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bits of the Chinese station. None of those sufficiently funded.

But remember when the Foreign Intelligence Service chief just jumped on a redeye to DC to meet with Pompeo? I 'member.

Khrunichev will shut down the Moscow site entirely after completing its current Proton orders, and try to sell the real estate to plug the hole in its finance. That's it for the Proton, supposedly.

At this point I don’t expect anything new from Russian space program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently they declare that they work on Angara family and Soyuz-5 (17 t, considered as a first phase of heavy rocket development). http://tass.ru/kosmos/5129136 Spoiler Quote Сверхтяжелая ракета В 2016 году на конференции в Москве гендиректор РКК "Энергия" Владимир Солнцев представил проект ракеты- носителя "Энергия-5В" сверхтяжелого класса, предназначенной для отправки пилотируемой миссии на Луну. По его словам, при создании ракеты от "Ангары-А5В" будет взята верхняя водородная ступень, от перспективной ракеты среднего класса "Союз-5" будут использованы первая и вторая ступени. Позже источник ТАСС в ракетно-космической отрасли сообщил, что корпорацией определен примерный облик двух типов ракет, предлагаемых для реализации, - "Энергия-5В- ПТК" и "Энергия-5ВР-ПТК" со стартовой массой 2368 тонн и 2346 тонн. Quote Ранее сообщалось, что РКК "Энергия" разработает на космодроме Восточный новый комплекс ракеты-носителя сверхтяжелого класса, испытания которой начнутся с 2028 года. В составе соисполнителей работ - Ракетно-космический центр "Прогресс", ФГУП "Центр эксплуатации наземной космической инфраструктуры". ...В то же время, как сообщали ранее в РКК "Энергия", разработка ракеты будет в 1,5 раза дешевле, чем воспроизведение советской ракеты-носителя "Энергия". Briefly: In 2016 Gen.Dir. of RKK "Energia" has presented the project of "Energia-5V" superheavy launch vehicle for crewed lunar missions. He said that for this project they will take: upper hydrolox stage from Angara-5V 1st and 2nd stages from perspective medium launch vehicle Soyuz-5 currently being created. Later some person added that RKK "Energia" has defined how should look two launch vehicles to be implemented: Energia-5V-PTK (2368 t) and Energia-5VR-PTK (2346 t). Earlier they said that RKK "Energia" will construct a new launch complex at Vostochny for a superheavy rocket. Test should begin in 2028. As was said earlier, a new rocket development will cost 1.5 times less than Soviet rocket Energia rebuilding. *** Nothing about Energy resurrection at all, except from Zak's words.
